Proposal to expand the Civil Guard's additional staffing

Admitted step 2 of 7 · Unfinished

It is a members’ bill. Introduced by parliamentary groups, the Senate, regional governments or citizens. It was introduced on 7 December 2017. Introduced by: Grupo Parlamentario Socialista.

Official title: Private member's bill amending Act 29/2014, of 28 November, on the Personnel Regime of the Civil Guard.

Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would amend Article 25 of the Civil Guard Personnel Law. The idea is that Civil Guard members assigned outside the Corps would no longer hold a spot on the staffing roster, so others could be promoted and fill that spot.
  2. Today that solution only exists for the rank of General. The reform would extend it to all ranks: anyone moving to work in other ministries, the Royal Household, or international organizations would count as additional staffing and free up their position.
  3. The Government would have two months to review the Royal Decree setting the Civil Guard staffing for 2017-2021 and adapt it to the new rule.
  4. The rule would take effect the day after its publication in the Official State Gazette (Boletín Oficial del Estado).

Who it affects

  • Civil Guard members: Other Civil Guard members could be promoted when a colleague moves to work at another organization, because the position would become vacant.
  • The Civil Guard as an institution: It would recover personnel without increasing spending: positions held by those working elsewhere could be filled again.
  • The Government: It would have to review the staffing Royal Decree within two months to adapt it to the reform.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
